Stable isotopes are powerful tools for elucidating ecological trends in extant vertebrate
communities, though their application to Mesozoic ecosystems is complicated by a lack of …

Over the past 50,000 years, global ecosystems have experienced substantial shifts in
composition and function as a result of climate change and the direct and/or indirect impact …

The tissues of living animals contain carbon, oxygen, and nitrogen, which are sourced from
the food, water, and air that animals ingest and respire. This linkage holds true for vertebrate …

Analyses of the natural variation in stable isotopes of components of ecological systems
have provided new insights into how these systems function across paleoecological to …

Although the use of stable isotope data from vertebrate remains is becoming common for the
Cenozoic, their application to Mesozoic environments has been rare, in part due to the …

Stable-isotope analysis is a powerful method for characterizing flows of mass and energy
through ecosystems. Long-term food-web studies using stable isotopes are valuable but …

Most ecological proxies used in archaeological research operate at scales that are too
coarse-grained for consideration of huntergatherer adaptive decisions. Hunter-gatherers …

Resource use and niche partitioning has rarely been shown in ancient C3-dominated
environments through analysis of stable isotope values, even though before 7 million years …

This paper provides an overview of stable isotope analysis (H, C, N, O, Si) of the macro-and
microscopic remains from aquatic organisms found in lake sediment records and their …

Stable carbon and nitrogen isotope analyses of human and animal tissues have become an
important means of studying both anthropogenic and natural food webs in aquatic …
